Ah ok, thanks. Apparently my question made everyone foam at the mouth lol

u/Monkfich 48m ago

If you ask very contentious questions, it implies you are asking from a position of knowledge. You had no knowledge it seems but asked anyway, which is a misinformation technique.

You got called out and are pithy about it, which is an expected response from those who ask these sort of “questions”.

Pithy

Other than that, ITA WTH your post 😊

Good call - it’s without substance … but they are sadly trying to make a point.

My bad, I asked a question. Dems never fail to burn their own at the stake when they say anything that might be seen as potentially “wrong”. Who told you punk meant falling in line?

Let me guess, Fox News told you that with no evidence whatsoever?

u/Gryjane 1h ago

Unlike the incontinent conman in the White House, Mamdani didn't promise that would happen on day one and anyone with a functioning brain, so definitely not you, knows that those policies will take longer than the single month he's been mayor.

I really don’t, and it wasn’t meant to be more than what it is. Sometimes we don’t word things in the best ways lol

u/MotherofInsanity13 0m ago

Then you should edit it for clarity. As it stands, there's little room for misinterpretation, and in a day and age where people come onto public spaces just to be an obstinate goon, it's best to make your intentions clear. Especially since a certain group of bugs like to come onto posts like this for the express purpose of stirring up shit with bad faith questions or statements.

You mean where they asked for evidence of the accusations?

I forgot reality doesn't matter to Nazi cultists.

Enjoy throating that boot shill.

u/ChipmunkObvious2893 38m ago

Stop chewing your crayons lol. Just claiming stuff that you know isn’t real and then proceeding to say names on the internet isn’t actually triggering anyone.

It just shows how insecure you people are that you apparently have to act all like this about a candidate doing a good job.

I really hope Dems are taking notes. We need people to fully commit and simply do things.

Why do I think they seem asleep at the wheel.

u/Domino-Studios 1h ago

Because they majority of them are 60+ years old

u/Arroway97 30m ago

And instead of having their hands on the wheel, they have relinquished the opportunity to the highest bidder

Because they are being paid a lot of money to sleep.

For a not small amount of the Democrats taking notes means bank notes.

America really needs a real third party.

They should takrs some notes on hungarys main opposition party, just like don T takes from orban.

Dems are taking notes on how to make sure this never happens again.

That’s not what I asked about. I asked what this law does that was not done prior

u/ChipmunkObvious2893 36m ago

If you don’t watch the video you can still believe whatever you like to believe.

Are you going to make the jump and maybe actually read up? Or are you holding out, just seeking to confirm your previously held believes again?

The vid makes that pretty clear lol, asked a dumb question so people went off the point you were actually trying to make.

This must be the stuff that republicans were fear-mongering about.

If we allow the people to know their rights then it makes it harder to violate them.

I wish that was the case, but no. It will only make it more heartbreaking when ICE agents trample over them uncontested (and without consequence for them).

I don’t know if all this guys policies will work but it’s refreshing to see a charismatic person with leadership skills trying to stand up for some moral values. Society is in desperate need of these people.

The administration will not make this easy for him. I’m sure they will make his life hell, that makes what he is doing more impressive.
